My freshman year in HS (last year lol) science teacher is 68, 69 now I guess lol but she's shared so many stories from the Cold War era and we ask her about bands and whatnot and she remembers The Beatles (when she was a teenager) and Nirvana, but she was an adult during Nirvana's era so she didn't really listen to them but she remembered all the hype. Pretty cool. She told us about how during the Cold War era, and the Cuban missile crisis, people thought the soviets were gonna nuke us (I live in Rhode Island USA btw) and they thought the world was gonna end litterally...scary time but interesting. My favorite era in history.

[@CHUCKYLOSTIT]

TALKINGtac0 yeah i no what your saying, how ever i was born in 1990 tho so i was alive but far form old enough to going to a show lol didnt even know of nirvana till i was like 10 or so maybe older, how ever i do remember when i was small there was this song that was always on the radio and i loved the opening riff and it stuck with me forever untill i was older and my buddy came over and was playing my guitar that i barely could play at the time and played smells like teen spirit riff and i was like "WAIT.... WAIT.... what song is that! " and hes like smells like teen spirit by nirvana and that was the start of it aoways new there was this dope band out there and i loved that sound and riff but couldnt figure out who it was or the song name untill he played it fell in love with the band almost immediately

[@TALKINGtac0]

+CHUCKYLOSTIT Nirvana has the power to change many people's lives in many different ways. Few bands can do that. It changed my life. Before, I just listened to and played music (I only played piano) to relax, and move on to another world for a little while. But when I heard Nirvana, evertthing changed. They inspired me to play the guitar, the first full song of theirs that I played was Lithium. I also began to consider music as a possible career. I started taking my guitar to school, playin gn at lunch. Now, music was not just a temporary escape. No... now it was a way of life, it took a tenacious grip of my heart. I breathe music now. My past self would not understand what I'm talking about if weren't for Nirvana. Nirvana literally changed my whole life.

[@Green_Broccoli]

This band singlehandedly kept actual, good rock music afloat from the mid 90's until today. As a rock listener, their albums have been unusually solid with an amazing 1-3 hits per release. They did great guitar and drum music during the shitty late 90's modern rock era, the shitty Metallica 2000's, mallcore and Nu Metal garbage, and up to this day. You have bands like the Killers and Black Keys taking up their own reigns in the genre, but Nirvana have created a seamless blend of punk roots, 90's indie rock and early 80's Nirvana successfully created a kingdom for themselves that defined a generation of guitar music that I'd feel proud to expose my kid to. Dave was and still incredibly under-rated. -Thanks nirvana, I wish you were still here.

Krist is vastly underrated. Totally agree, really great, hooky basslines. Melodic, almost beatle-esque. Kurt and eventually Dave Grohl were more popular, but he was key in that band. Apparently he was the one who came up with the final Teen Spirit arrangement when Kurt brought the riff to rehearsal (all of them co-wrote the track).

So many people know about tony dancer that you are the stranger here, not the sulfur discoverer.

[@gabesaenz9837]

I think that dude did that their entire set. Drugs and endurance!

i love how the crowd just starts singing along with kurt that was amazing

I was born in 1942. My grandson said this is what the cool people listen to.

[@kiranevetts7868]

then you must be cool! ( :

[@monkey-o-joy]

My mom was born in 1947. She loved Nirvana so much we actually buried her in her Kurt Cobain t-shirt. :D

[@monkey-o-joy]

Haaaa, thanks! The moral of this story- "age ain't no thang". :)

[@chrisperri2842]

He'd be correct.

[@rsbullygta]

This is so cute :)

[@sadie7035]

it literally makes me cry hearing the crowd sing with him

[@darrenlamb5640]

Hands down the best gig nirvana played. And given that nirvana were probably the best band ever this is very likely the greatest gig in history.

[@Penny_too_expenny]

For me, this 4 minutes and 27 seconds of sound was the best ever produced.

[@mikewad4841]

You've clearly never heard "lucky charms" by biz markie then

[@keertan2404]

The bass riff from 2:42 is just mind blowingly awesome

[@gruesomewolfgaming4735]

It had been playing since like 30 seconds in you just couldn't hear it.

It was just a normal saturday night in my hometown. Go to the pub, drink, go to the club, take pills, get fucked up. Sister knocks on my door at 10am "wanna go and see Nirvana at Reading?" no i just wanna sleep for a thousand years. Missed the best gig ever. My sister loved it. Reading 92 is my favourite Nirvana gig.

[@kians286]

i could listen to that intro for years.

[@chrisridenhour]

Nirvana should have made that dancing guy an official member of the band lol

He is. Dancing Tony is a Nirvana member

It's remastered.

[@Dylan-cj4hh]

They put visual effects to make it look MUCH better

[@oscarnirvanaff1031]

it does, but live at the Paramount is still the best looking nirvana concert

[@Baku69895]

Mostly in comparison to the autotune and lipsinging of today

[@D34DParadise]

i love this song so much, it's so life affirming. for a lot of my life i felt like an outsider who is trying to find his place in the world (i still feel like this btw). whenever i listen to this song it reminds me that its ok to feel this way and that you shouldn't feel ashamed about being a loner and just try to enjoy the joys of life whilst you're still around to experience them :)

[@GabrielRios-xh7sk]

No matter how much time passes, Nirvana's songs will always be good

If I was able to go back in time I would go back just to see nirvana live, sucks being born in 1999

[@alexlloyd3641]

I was also born in 99, and it only sucks because people don't have ambition. We need to be the change!

[@ZynxyHD]

Me and you both need to go back! I would be screaming in the crowd!

[@kylescher4359]

Yeah, sucks being born in 98... Missed out on being able to see a ton of great music live... Nothing is even close today :/

[@FunnyVideoMaker77]

2000 here. Being here woulda been just phenomenal. And it was just 8 years earlier...think about it that's pretty short..8 years ago today it was 2007 and it seems far yet close

[@mrrooneygeorgee6524]

Go see royal blood live it's pretty phenomenal

At 2:43 he almost smiles, but an awkward smirk was all that came out.

[@billiemae15]

the people in that crowd dont know how lucky they are

[@deadroses19]

McCaroni they do now

[@pardron]

It was mental. Gf lost her shoes in the crush

[@e_shoemaker]

Everyone singing along; the voice of our generation. Thanks for the music, Kurt.

[@simzalabimm889]

Kurt never finished the whole "yeah" part when he singed lithium at shows (propably because its very breath taking) but Krist has said that it was so cool when they played it at reading and they saw 40 thousand people singing it. I think thats why Kurt decided to finish the whole part

[@stewartross13]

I love how Kurt pretty much re learned half of the songs from this set 5 seconds before he started the song lol

[@TALKINGtac0]

Stewart Ross Same dude!

[@PGalvan]

Because the tune of the guitar?

[@kurtasa3884]

Because he practices the riff before each song.

[@PGalvan]

Kurt Asa Yeah I notice it, it's because for nevermind the tune was standard and Kurt decided to low the tune to be because that way he don't get that tired

[@robertdunaway-tyll7635]

In Nevermind it was mostly E. Come As You Are, Lithium, and Drain you were in D standard. On a Plain was Drop D.

[@hydrogen.jukebox]

I just love how the entire crowd is singing along. This is heartwarming

[@RemusGT]

I can watch this concert 100 times and I still get goosebumps like nowhere else.

[@adriancastrillon2454]

Pure expression, the real core of music. You don't see that around anymore.

Aldo Kurti the one who sings is kurt cobain wth if you mean the other guy its chris

[@bobana3105]

I remember it being 2012. I was born in 2000. My older brother showed me Nirvana and I became obsessed. I found this a bit later and showed my Mom, who still recalls where she was when Kurt died. Her and I were dead silent until I quietly asked, "can you hear-" and she cut me off with awh, "the crowd singing along?" Amazing. I love you, Kurt. Here I am. 2022 crying for a friend who's favorite song was Lithium. RIP Sierra

29 years damn man miss you so so much Kurt ❤
